It seems that the way I wrote this story didn't translate well into the live journal enviroment. If you'd like a copy in word document then e-mail me at sometreesaretallerthaniamATHOTMAILDOTCOM

first off, "friend", i am not saying it to be rude. i am saying that it has a very stereotypical feel to it. being rude would be saying "u sUcK, dUn LeAvE mE nOtEz"; im giving you feedback. the writing style is fine, but the whole insanity thing is very hollywood-esque.
secondly, dont go around soliciting your little story collection if you dont want people to give you harsh (truthful?) criticism. thats life buddy.
im sorry that i have offended you. i'll make a note-to-self to next time use profanity rather than opinions.
Man what you wrote wasn't an opinion it was an insult. It was brief sentence stating I was a hack and I need to be more creative. I don't want your opinion because you're not being constructive or in depth. And insanity is hollywood?? What's stereotypical? Insanity? What ever man.
what i am trying to say is although you're a fine writer, it feels as if your stories are lacking something. that you need to break away from the norm with them.
and yes, incase you havent noticed, insanity and depression are the big craze. movies, music, tv, its all over the place.
Ok now I am begining to understand what you are driving at, and yes I know I write about insanity a lot. It is something I am looking to deviate from in the future. I still don't see how I can be a fine writer but stereotypical, just because the subject matter is over done or popular doesn't mean anything. Like Stephan King writting about aliens, he still adds somethnig new to it, his own style and inner dialouge that makes the story unique. I refuse to belive that you feel they all lack something, like there should be more to all of them. Anyways I could carry on for quite a while, but I'm not going to.

Granted soliciting one work to unknown people is sketchy at best. But maybe perhaps all he was doing is trying to get his words out there? Is that wrong I can understand if it was say selling you a new product. But its just a story. Its a honest way no? You want people to read your journal no? I mean thats why you post crap on it right? If it was just for yourself, you wouldn't want or need to post any thought on it right? So obviously you need it in some way. Maybe because your alone with your thoughts and just want somebody to hear you. Isn't that why we all are on here? To express ones thoughts. Hell if steven King said" I'm gonna send out free stories" would you reject it? hardly. I for one like them they are strange at times. He doesn't write "I got off work today and had an argument with my girlfriend" and I'm feeling "Glum or Happy today". And thank god.
